Drug Agents Seize More Than 2,000 Marijuana Plants In Alabama

[Jacob Redmond]

Drug agents with the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency's State Bureau of Investigations last week seized more than 2,000 marijuana plants as part of a summer-long initiative to locate and destroy illegal grow operations in the state.

For the next several weeks, SBI Narcotics Unit agents will team with state, county and local law enforcement agencies to eradicate marijuana plants being cultivated illegally across the state, the ALEA announced today. Last week, authorities seized 2,034 plants.

"Within the first week, the SBI seized almost half of the total seized during the 2014 eradication operation," SBI Director Gene Wiggins said. "With the formation of the SBI and the streamlining of state law enforcement narcotics efforts, we are able to provide a more efficient, effective narcotics program."

According to a release, the eradication efforts are being funded by the Drug Enforcement Administration's Domestic Cannabis Eradication/Suppression Program.

that sucks, they are still trying to arrest their way out of this ,very sad they will one day think straight and regulate cannabis and stop filling up jails and ruining lives and feeding their own cause, the inaccurate conditioning threw out our society, and false propaganda that law enforcement has spewed all these years is coming to light ,the states are realizing now that just maybe spending on incarceration and feeding the system is not nearly as effective as using our funds for education and helping seniors out, its nearly taken all funds to fight this prohibition nearly bankrupting states, and now they are realizing its all been bull shit, about time

"...funded by the Drug Enforcement Administration's Domestic Cannabis Eradication/Suppression Program." What an incredible waste of tax dollars, funds that could be used to actually help citizens is instead lost feeding a broken system of punishment.

What a FRIGGEN REDNECK STATE. Some things never change in the Bible Belt of the deep South. The cool people that live there live in the DARK AGES when it comes to Cannabis.
